Genuine tempo from Blue Card leading Big Swoop. HIERONYMUS BOSCH (2) just missed over this trip at Belmont last time out, beaten 0.2L when overrun in the dying stages. He maps for a similar run this time and he drops in weight off the latest effort. Ticking along nicely and can go one better this time. SAVORSKI (1) was the one who gunned down the top pick last time out but was an $8 chance there. Where he gets to from the draw is a niggle and he meets Hieronymus Bosch worse at the weights, but he's a gelding on the way up and he may not have hit his ceiling yet. SIMPLY (6) is hard to knock on recent form, jumping favourite against Savorski and Hieronymus Bosch last time out. He now gets the blinkers on first time and it wouldn't surprise to see him running over the top of them late. MANZOR MAGIC (7) just missed at Narrogin over 1900m and steps out to this trip for the first time which appears to suit. Big tick with Pike riding for this stable. Improver. BLUE CARD (4) is racing well and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hieronymus Bosch gets the nod.
